Summer 2002: "The Great GameFAQs Character Battle"

Who is the most popular video game character of all time?

Well, we're going to find out, at least according to the visitors of GameFAQs.
Beginning July 1st, there will be a 64-character winner-take-all battle royale,
conducted as the Poll of the Day over the following two months. From 64 of the
most popular video game characters, only one will emerge as the champion.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to try and pick the winners.
Split up over four divisions and seeded through scientific estimation and wild guesses,
the 64 characters chosen will duke it out in a single-elimination tournament. If
you've ever filled out an NCAA Basketball Tournament bracket before, the rest should
be simple.

For the first round of 32 polls, picking the correct answer will score one point.
For each successive round, picking the winner will earn double the points of the
round before (Round 2: 2 points, Round 3: 4 points, Round 4: 8 points, Semifinals: 16 points,
Finals: 32 points).
